I live up by the ADKs but the first time I got invited down south, back then shot gun only, I was just a kid and had a stevens savage pump 20 gauge and a pocket of miscellaneous slugs ,it was opening day and when the sun came up and the war started I didn’t know what the heck was going on being from up north LOL, about 15 minutes later a 140” + plus buck came by about 100 yards away and dirt flew every shot, I didn’t sleep for a month afterwards, I had an 870 with cantilever barrel quick before next year, if I had my rifle that buck would have been done for LOL.
